Saw some posts and comments from a while back about the Trek books and decided to give them a try. Starting out with “Q-Squared” because it was on sale for $1.99 and I figured a Q-centric story would be a fun entry point. I am now kind of regretting that frugal decision.
It follows multiple parallel realities (called “tracks” in the book) with Q and Trelane central to the plots, so my usual casual reading style of a chapter each evening is not working out well because I just cannot keep up.
The only saving grace is that I’ve at least read “A Stitch in Time” so I know not all Trek books are this confusing. Probably going to have to just power through this one and not let it ruin the medium. It’s not that it’s a bad story, just hard to follow.
I also like to read in the evening, usually right before bed. My Kobo has adjustable color temp but I usually leave the backlight off and just use my lamp like with a normal book. Looks better and easier on the eyes IMO and also makes the epaper seem more magical. I dunno why, but the backlight on them ruins the effect for me.
Haven’t tried a color one. TBH, the Kobo I have is the very entry-level one since I wasn’t sure if I’d use it often or not. Turns out I love it so may upgrade at some point.
